Sunfood, Raw Red Maca Powder, 8 oz (227 g)

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.

Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.

Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Shipping Weight

The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width &amp; height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Red maca is a root vegetable grown in the Peruvian Andes. It was sacred to the Incas and has been used in South America for centuries. Incan warriors would consume maca before long journeys and battles. Today's athletes are confirming what history has to say about this incredible superfood.

The Sunfood Difference

Our red maca is grown at high elevations in areas untouched by pollution where it is sun-dried and low-temperature processed into a fine powder. Other maca products are grown at lower elevations and processed at higher temperatures. Sunfood red maca powder has a unique earthy flavor, slightly milder than yellow maca, that goes well with sweet or savory dishes.

Suggested Use

Add a tablespoon of red maca powder to smoothies, or try in your favorite recipe!

Other Ingredients

Certified organic red maca root

Caution / Allergen Statement: Packaged in a facility that also processes peanuts and tree nuts.

I bought this to see if it could help me in balancing my hormones. The problem was that no matter what I put it in I could taste it, and it does not taste good in any way. I even tried adding a teaspoon instead of a table spoon, sadly the taste still took over too much. And less than that I'm afraid I won't feel the benefits.
Also, even after forcing myself the smoothie or whatever I've added it in, I did not feel like my energy level went up. I haven't tried any other brands, and I will still try to finish it up, but I don't know if I'll ever re-buy any maca powder. I just can stand the taste or the consistency it gives the food.
